Inheritance & Estate
“What do I need to file with the IRS as executor of an estate?”
As executor of an estate, the IRS filing picture often depends on the estate’s income, the assets involved, and whether the estate is still open during administration. Common filings can include a final individual return for the decedent, an estate income tax return if the estate earns income, and in some cases an estate tax return tied to the size and type of assets transferred. Records for bank accounts, investments, real estate, and any distributions to beneficiaries often shape what is needed and how the forms are prepared. A short conversation with a CPA can sort out what applies to your specific numbers.
